Yesterday marked the beginning of The Autumn.  The Fall.

There are a lot of things I like about this season.  And of course, some things which I don’t.

It makes me think of pumpkin patches, and old barns.  Corn stalks, apples, and Halloween.  It brings with it that unmistakeable, crisp coolness to the night air.

Which then reminds me that winter in on the way.  And of course, 91 days until Christmas.

But Fall also brings with it football.  And I love football.  College and Pro. I’m not sure why I am so drawn to this incredibly rough sport.  But I DO like to watch… and to follow.

A couple of weekends we got free tickets to the Colts game, so we went on over. I  am not a big fan of the Colts… but Indy sounded like fun.

Of all things…. we were sitting right  next to four or five nuns.  They were all in their old-school habits… the kind with the big hats and side wings.  Are they EVEN called hats?  At any rate, there were some beer drinkers sitting right behind them, and those guys  apparently couldn’t see very well over the Flying Nun Heads.

So they started jawing it up.

The first guy… rather loudly says……”I think I’ll move to California, there’s only 50 Catholics there.”

Then the next guy starts laughing… and chimes in……”I think I’ll move to Washington, there’s only 25 Catholics there.”

Over course the third bozo had to check in with…… “I think I’ll move to Idaho, there’s only 10 Catholics there.”

Then….. all of a sudden….. one of the nuns turned around.  She looked dead at them and said…..
“Go to Hell, there are NO Catholics there.”

Holy Moly…. do I EVER love Fall.  Spike it in the end zone, Sister!
